Abstract
We report the results of a comparative study of digital and conventional chest radiographs to detect normal anatomical structures of the thorax. A digital Toshiba unit (TCR 201) was used to examine 100 selected patients who were diagnosed with no chest pathologic conditions. The images in both modes were submitted for interpretation to five radiologists. The depiction of nine normal anatomical structures was more accurate on digital than on conventional radiographs. The mean confidence levels achieved in viewing digital images were higher than those obtained with conventional radiographs. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.002).
